COMMUNITY CONDUCT

Respect & Safety

  • Slurs, “KYS,” harassment, sexual comments, and attacks involving someone’s family or personal life can result in permanent removal.
  • Do not impersonate members or staff, link gamertags you do not own, or use alternate accounts to bypass punishment.
  • Constructive criticism is welcome; false rumors and deliberate damage to the community are not.

Discord Conduct

  • Staff mentions are for support only. Use tickets for reports, appeals, or concerns about a staff member.
  • Never disclose player or faction base locations in Discord.
  • No unauthorized advertising, false reports, or robbing/harassing players in private faction channels.

Trading & Identity

  • No real-money trading of credits, money, or in-game items between members.
  • Do not claim membership in another faction or claim bounties on friends/faction members.
  • Respect agreements officially made inside The Hive Discord.

SERVER & COMBAT

Fair Play

  • No glitching, bug exploitation, enemy teleporter use, combat logging, or alt-account scouting.
  • Players within 100m who assist an illegal act may share responsibility.
  • Report suspected violations with video evidence.

Spawn Protection

  • Do not kill a fresh spawn during their first 60 seconds unless they used a teleporter or selected spawn.
  • Two spawn kills trigger a 2-minute automatic ban.
  • After two temporary spawn-kill bans, the next violation results in a permanent ban.

Accounts & Vehicles

  • PC players are automatically banned and must open a ticket for whitelisting before joining.
  • Do not log out within 50m of another player’s base.
  • After using a vanilla vehicle, destroy its engine so it can recycle for other players.

BASE BUILDING

30-Gate Funnel

No more than 30 gates may be required to fully enter a base through its main entrance. Extra gates elsewhere are allowed when they are not part of that primary funnel.

Raidable Construction

  • Every base must remain raidable. Log walls and standalone fence-post walls are prohibited.
  • Walls need enough walking space between them; barbed wire must attach to a wall with both frames built.
  • Keep flag areas clear of loose items and use proper storage.

Tents & Roads

  • Tents are storage only and cannot block entrances, exits, gates, ladders, or create crawl spaces.
  • Do not stack more than two tents inside each other.
  • Keep main roads, bridges, and island routes open. Landmines are the only road exception.

RAIDING

Weekend Raid Window

Friday 8:00 PM through Sunday 8:00 PM Eastern. Record every raid and retain the video for reports.

Prohibited Boosting

No watchtowers, campfires, tents, garden plots, or drivable vehicles may be used to boost into bases.

No Griefing

Do not destroy or dump large amounts of stored items without intending to take them. Confirmed griefing carries a one-month console-ID ban.

After Entry

Do not camp or log out inside another base. Factions cannot team during raids or events. Custom bases require Owner/Co-Owner confirmation.

WEEKDAY ENTRY

Allowed

Entry is permitted only by a simple vault from a permanent map object or by dismantling a wall from outside.

Not Allowed

No vehicles, tents, fireplaces, garden plots, or code raiding. You cannot dismantle to exit; if trapped, you must respawn.

Evidence

Record questionable entries and open a ticket. Do not retaliate by breaking another rule.

FACTIONS

Membership

  • Minimum 4 members; maximum 15.
  • Faction leaders are responsible for repeated member violations.
  • Leaving members must notify leadership and wait one day before joining another faction.

Identity

  • Factions receive an available flag and armband and must fly their registered flag.
  • Do not use another faction’s reserved flag or armband.
  • White flags are reserved for solos, duos, and trios.

Limits & Activity

  • Factions are limited to five total vehicles.
  • At least four members must respond to activity checks.
  • Former members may not use faction codes, locations, or private information against the faction.
